Natalism

Natalism is a belief promoting human reproduction. Natalism is common in countries with large elderly populations, countries with low birth rates, or countries with low life expectancy, with many European countries struggling to encourage young people to have more children. In the communist Polish People's Republic, taxes were higher for childless couples. However, anti-natalism is also a major belief. In China, anti-natalist policies were passed to limit population growth. Natalism is currently promoted in Japan, Russia, Canada, Germany, Italy, and other "old" countries.
